24th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Peak hurdling RPRs around Hereford and Kempton bode well with another flat right-hander awaiting him; last-time success over 2m5f at the latter venue is the furthest he's gone so far, and dual-purpose pedigree isn't abundant with stayers, but he'd be unfazed by a dryout. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Soundly beaten when just 17-2 at last year's Festival (2m4f); finally opened his chase account in November, before staying-on fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) where he was badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; 13l win at Sandown (3m, soft; made most) on latest outing confirmed he's got his act together, which earned a 7lb rise but he needs respect. |

10st 7lb |
Opened his chase account on reappearance, then did well to finish fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) having badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; lost chance with bad mistake four out when beaten favourite at Ascot since; remains of interest, assuming he puts in an error-free round. |
9/2 |

1st 2 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has the best hurdles form in this field and his good efforts (twice runner-up) over fences last season were even better; however, he was below form in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate outing and failed to complete on starts either side, the latest 11 days ago; that dents his case today (in returning cheekpieces) but he is the standout on form. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Started the season over fences and that didn't go well; his fifth over C&D in January was encouraging but again failed to fire at Ascot; there's a competitive show in him should the new cheekpieces (on for a visor) trigger something. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Began season with two below-par chase runs in the autumn but gave good account when fifth of 17 over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft; first-time visor) last month and will be fine on the slower ground here. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Modest efforts this term, taking chase record to 0-6; rallied to win at Southwell (2m4f) on last hurdles attempt, taking strike-rate in this sphere to 2-5; revival possible, provided he takes well to added visor. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Placed on all three hurdle starts (1m7f/2m, soft/good to soft), most recently over C&D; not obviously well treated off her opening mark but she's unexposed and her dam was useful, so she's open to improvement. |

Three wins in points and bit unlucky when close third in modest Downpatrick maiden last month; extra furlong a help. |

6th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Won an Irish point but it's been a very underwhelming start under rules for his top yard and hopes pinned on the longer trip and/or tongue-tie making a difference. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made an excellent start over fences when landing a pair of 2m3f handicap chases at Exeter before Christmas but his form has really dipped, only seventh at Newbury (2m7f) last month; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Showed a willing attitude to kick off his chasing career with two 2m3f handicap wins at Exeter (good to soft) and his Kempton run off this mark on Boxing Day looked too bad to be true; however, even if back on song, others may have his measure. |

1st Mar 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |

Handicap debutant; seemingly outstayed over 2m5f last time but may not be crying out for this drop back to 2m, having gained his Taunton win over 2m3f; testing ground would be a possible help, however. |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Set to finish second before falling in closing stages of Chepstow bumper in February 2023 and made fairly encouraging hurdles debut in November; suffered heavy defeat the following month and was sold out of Evan Williams' stable for 3,000gns in February but is worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut. |

11st 0lb |
Was still in second (though well held by the winner) when falling inside the final furlong on his debut in a Chepstow bumper; not sure if that's knocked his confidence as he was tailed off next time and then trailed home last on recent hurdling debut at Ffos Las. |
